clear, and exact description of the same, ref* erence being had to the accompanying draw ings, forming a part of this specification.

The present invention relates more eepecially to that type of sliding-door hangers in which the horizontal rider-bar rests upon the axle of a pair of track-Wheels which have movement upon a pair of overhead support-- ingtracks, the sliding door and the rider-bars being connected together insafijnetai'ilerela-v tion by means of suspension rode or bolts.

The object of the present invention is to provide a simple, durable, and eiective doorlianger construction in vided for effecting a lateral adjustment ofthe snspe11sion-rods with relation tothe rider-bar to attain the proper and perfect aiinementof the oor with relationto the walt-pocket, tracks, ttc., in a ready and convenient inanfully appear, and-be more particularly pintc out in the claims. iattain such object by the construe tion and arrangement of parte illustrated in the accompanyingy drawings, in whicli- Figure l is a side elevation, partly in eec`- tion, of a sliding-door hanger embodying the present invention; Fig. 2, a detail plan vieri of one end of the rider-bar; Fig. Il, a similar view of one end of the `lateraliy-adjnntefnle cap-plate of the ridenbar, and Fig. e adetaii transverse section of a modification.

Similar numerals of reference indicate like parte int'ue different views.
